Cedar

Cedar is an authorization policy language used for making allow/deny decisions from policies, principals, actions, resources, and context.

Key Points

• Policies use permit or forbid effects.
• Default decision is deny unless a permit policy matches.
• Satisfied forbid policies override permit policies.
• Schemas can validate policies and request structure.

Relevance to Init Intelligence

Cedar is worth studying as a policy language for human-readable, analyzable agent/tool/action authorization. ^[inferred]
